What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Partner with Korea Act," aims to provide high-skilled visas for nationals of the Republic of Korea. It amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to include a new visa category for those performing services in a specialty occupation. The Secretary of Labor must certify that the employer has filed a specific attestation. There is a yearly cap of 15,000 initial applications for these visas. This limit applies only to the principal aliens and does not include spouses or children.
